The S-MM2H programme is open to all countries recognised by Malaysia but the programme has numerous requirements. These requirements include a minimum monthly income, minimum liquid assets, a fixed deposit, plus various other rules. The exclusion of foreign spouses of Malaysian citizens was removed in February 2009 and they are now allowed to apply for the S-MM2H visa. If you do choose to use an agent they must be authorised by the Ministry of Tourism. These companies have the initials “S-MM2H” in the company name.
Our company FSG Home (MM2H) Sdn Bhd is an approved agent for the programme. If you use an agent the initial application can be made without even coming to Malaysia. You will only have to be in Malaysia when the letter of “conditional approval” is issued and you complete the remaining conditions and collect the visa.
